hi there,
I read on the KudoZ bouncer page that a KudoZ bouncer has the right to \'squash\' inappropriate KudoZ questions, but the page doesn\'t mention anything about how to do that. I\'ve searched everywhere in this site and found nothing. It\'s not that I want to squash any questions now, I\'m just curious how you guys out there do the squashing things. BTW, I\'ve also submitted a support request but didn\'t get a reply. Can anybody here tell me how to do \'the squashing\'?

After you pass the 100 KudoZ points mark, on the page of the question you should see (on the right hand side) a new link \'Squash\'.
There is also, just above it, a link to Info where the procedure is explained.
That\'s all.

| | | | | I don't think you can at 100 Kudos | Oct 25, 2002 |
As far as I can tell, after you reach 100 Kudos you can \"edit\" a question that was posten incorrectly and change the language combination and the category. You can also change a question that was posted as Easy to Pro and viceversa. That\'s it. Maybe you have to get to a higher level of Kudos to be able to delete questions that are spam or inappropriate.

Gianfranco, I think you need 500 KudoZ to squash, not 100 (but with 100 you can bounce questions up and down).

The squashing function suddenly appeared one day after I had reached the 500 KudoZ mark. But I couldn\'t find any help anywhere. So, I just clicked to see what happened, and had quite a shock when someone else\'s question disappeared. That is, until I realized I had sent it to the other level.

There should however be some rule on which duplicate to squash. More than once, I sent a duplicate into oblivion at the same time another translator was doing the same thing with the other one. I now squash the last one.
Squashing for another reason is tricky however. What is inapproriate is extremely subjective and askers often object to being squashed. I actually got into a sqashing match with an asker who was determined to post his \"inappropriate\" question.

Moderators can unsquash questions, therefore no problem if a colleague squahes no. 1 and another one no. 2. You only need to contact the SC moderator.
Squashing is a right and, as all rights, it needs to be considered a priviledge to not be abused.

Gianfranco, when I passed the 100 KudoZ points, yes, I saw some new links on the right side of the KudoZ page but I didn\'t see the link \'squash\' (only the bouncing and editing links, and also \'info\').
Maybe Andrea is right, you need to earn 500 points to squash. (and maybe this is the new rule).
And if you guys read Henry\'s posting in :
http://www.proz.com/?sp=bb/viewtopic&post=35802#35802
you know that the requirement for becoming a KudoZ bouncer has been changed (from 500 points to 100 points) so I think that ProZ staff need to update the KudoZ bouncer page since it has caused some confusion here(at least for me and some of you I guess  .
Thanks anyway for sharing those info with me.

| Bouncing at 100 - another change | Oct 26, 2002 |
I recently passed 100 and was surprised to see that I could bounce questions (not that I did).
However, now all I can do is edit and move them between easy and pro.
Looks like the powers that be have made another change!

Yes, I have read Henry\'s posting re. bouncing at 100 KudoZ . But this is not exactly the case. I could edit questions, that is bounce them from easy to pro and the other way round, but the \'squash\' function appearaed only a week or so ago, after I hit 500 KudoZ.

Hi Jack and all,
I believe what Henry says in that posting is that after 100 KudoZ you become a bouncer (you can bump questions up and down and change language pairs), but he doesn\'t say anything about squashing.
